This was one of the best Gospel instructional videos I've seen in regards to application (apply). The key and placement? Oops The most important thing is he played it correctly. This brother Touch all the importanat points. KNOW THE SONG!!!!!! Wonderful insight my brother!!!! Stay blessed in the Lord.
hey toofpick thanks for serving our country as well as giving us these lessons. You are good!!! I've been playing now for about 3 yrs and i'm familiar with some of my scales but i never had a clue how to put these licks in until this video. May GOD continue to smile on you brother..
My brother Toofpick i have to say thank you once again. I tried you're method on Sabbath in church while playing bass for praise and worship and it needs a little practice on my part..lol.. but sounded all in all quite good. Can't wait to Sabbath comes around again for me to glorify God once more with this instrument. Please keep more tutorials coming because man, you're a good teacher.
Thanks bro and God's many blessings, you make playing bass sound so good as will as provide excellent tutorials. Please keep more coming as i'm learning to play bass, gospel style and need all the help i can get. Thanks and God's Richest Blessings
im a beginner at bass (16 years old) but i know quite a bit of music theory from playing trumpet for four years. Im just wondering how many scales there are or how many i should learn for now.
@9winters5 Man there are over 50 diff scales not counting modes. I dont even know all of them well lol! A good way is to learn how to construct the scales (whole steps and half steps) so no matter what key you will know the pattern/scale type. Hope that helps!
@9winters5 There is music composed with scales of only five notes (pentatonic), six notes (whole tone), eight notes (octatonic) and all twelve (atonal, tone rows, dodecaphonic). Then there are scales that composers create for a particular piece (usually based on a tone row). Not to mention micro-tones found in eastern music, which increase the number of notes to be used in a scale. There is a whole big world of music out there, I hope you explore it all.
@9winters5 There are twelve notes in the western system, and seven common modes. The are based off of greek terms and they are called Ionian (Major), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (Minor), and Locrian. This means there are 84 scales if you do not include enharmonic equivalents. And these are only the scales composed of seven notes.
Bro your nice... but i just had to make a correction. In the key of Eb minor Eb is actually the VI (6) Ab would be the II (2) and Bb would be the III (3). The actual I (1) is F#. That being said Most Major runs you can do in the key of F# Major you can also do them also do them in Eb minor because Eb minor is the relative minor of F# . Just like F# is the relative Major to Eb. Keep playing tho man it sounds NICE!
@Yourboysnacks Thanks bro. With all due respect, youre mixing two diff scale names. In the key of "Eb minor", Eb is the actual I. In "F# major", it would be the 6th as youve stated, and technically D#. The song starts on Eb and if you listen to it all the way through, ends on the 5th of Eb, Bb. your theory on runs is correct though. Just dont want to confuse any beginners. Respect.
@Yourboysnacks I'm sorry for putting this so bluntly, but you're wrong. If he plays the song in Eb minor then the song is in Eb minor, not in F# major. Also, in the relative major, the degrees (VI, II, and III, etc.) are NOT the same as the scale degrees in the relative minor. The only things relating the minor and major is the key signature. The Eb minor scale goes Eb, F, Gb, Ab, Bb, Cb, Db. The F# Major scale goes F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E#. (continued)
@Yourboysnacks (continued) As you can see, those scale degrees do NOT match up, since they don't start on the same note. They have the same notes in them, but the scale degrees aren't the same. Hope that helps clear it up a little.
@Yourboysnacks Actually, I guess a better and more concise explanation is that relative minors and majors are NOT interchangeable. If he plays it in Eb minor, then its in Eb minor.
@Yourboysnacks In the key of Eb minor, Eb is the tonic, or the i not the VI. Ab is the subdominant or the iv/IV and Bb is the dominant/v/V. The relative Major of Eb Minor is Gb Major. They share the same key signature, but start on different notes (Eb and Gb respectively). cont.
@Yourboysnacks You use different sets of Roman Numerals to identify these scales, always starting on their respective tonics. The relative Major of D# Minor is F# Major. Eb Minor and D# Minor are enharmonic equivalents, meaning they have the same sounds but two different names.
Hey man you are tight! Keep up the good work and giving encouragement and lessons for the up and coming bass players! But i want to ask what is a good way to learn to chord or find the notes for chords?
my friend always says, o keep your 4 string bass, he is ignorant a true bassist knows theres a diference, super jammingggggggg of course a 4 string is super orgasmic but 5 string, i mean you can jump from music styles, 6 is kind of alot but still nice
@GroovinwhittU As far as I can see, it's the tonic with a raised fifth, which forms the submediant (also called the parallel), in this case the Cb major. But since the key is Eb minor, and the actual chord is Eb minor, you can call it
a Cb/Eb. If I'm wrong please correct me, but I don't think I am.
Cheers man, this really helped me out. Needed help on what to play when jamming with my band and this gave me a good idea. I guess all those boring scales I had to learn weren't so useless after all :D
Wow. Literally Everything you said and demonstrated in this video helped me. As far as chops, i'm real close to what you displayed. Putting it all together as musical and soulful as possible is the challenge but its gotten easier with time... Best part of this video is the words of encouragement. Thanks a lot and God Bless.
@thislisa No problem! One of our responsibilities as musicians is to pass our knowledge to other players. I wouldn't know anything without the assistance of other players.
@aremslie You are so right and I really appreciate it. Since I have the word "trill" I was able to use that to find more vids on it and lines that use technique, to help me totally incorporate it.
Hey my brother God bless you are killin thanks i am a 48 yr. old bass player starting over again, you explain things excellently, with focus,control and thoroughness, thanks again
nice bass man and it sounss good.I started out with a 4 string then I got a 5 string but the strings on my 4 are futher apart than my 5 string bass so I wanted to know if the strings on your 6 were futher apart than your 5 string ?
This is a cool vid bro, unfortunately i don't know scales ,arpeggios or anything like that! Most times i just try to sounding like the bass player on the track.
Thanks alot brother... I already knew most of this but imma steal that chord form you... that was nice. Have a blessed day and keep motivating bass players!
awesome job on this post bruh. ive been playing for some time now, and felt like i hit a wall which seemed to keep me from finding my own style. u helped a lot....
What you said is the truth - as professional bass player, instructor and musician Carol Kaye stated - "as a bass player we learn chord patterns - because we support the sound of each chord. Chord tones are the heart of the bassline - other notes derived from scales or chromatic notes serve to complement and embellish the chord tones. Therefore, it is important to study chord tones."
that's what's up bro, we need encouraging bass players like yourself out here to lift us up and coming bass players up. thanks for your postings, but most of all thank you for teaching and for the encouragement. peace and God Bless. B
very informative, i learned a lot just now, you sound good dude......and nice tone.
